Inadequate Support for Artisans

Cottage industry artisans are the world's oldest entrepreneurs, creating handmade goods in their homes and small workshops. The majority of these artisans in developing countries lack access to capital, technology and other resources. Though skilled, they are often paid unfair wages for their work and face critical challenges to earn a sustainable income. As a result, they abandon their craft for labor-intensive jobs to meet their basic needs.

Handmade and Fair Trade

We are anti-mass production, committed to discovering unique, quality crafts that would otherwise be inaccessible to you. This minimizes our impact on the environment and provides a sustainable living for the artisans who make our products. At the same time, we bring high value to our customers by delivering premium quality handcrafted products directly to their doorstep.

Our Artisans

Our talented artisans are based in a remote town in Pakistan. They have honed the art of shoe making for generations. By making shoes for Fuchsia, they not only get to do what they love, but they also receive a respectable livable income that covers their basic needs: food, shelter, education, and health care for their families.

The Craftsmanship

We use natural leather that is cleaned by hand in local rivers, then refined and cured with salt from local sources. The leather is dried in the sun to avoid damage to the delicate, subtle texture. Our artisans embroider the upper portion of the shoe with brightly colored thread. The soles of the shoes are then bound together with durable thread. Our artisans have honed their expertise to make Fuchsia the softest and most comfortable ballet flat yet.

What Sets Us Apart

Handmade Ballet Flats: From leather cutting to embroidery, the entire process is performed by hand. Hand Embroidery: Some of our shoes take days of embroidery work because of the detail, delicacy and precision of our designs. Quality, comfort and flexibility: Fuchsia ballet leather flats are created with the highest quality leather and raw materials.

A movement

We are not just a shoe company. We are a movement connecting artisans with customers globally. We want you to know where and how our products are made by keeping our supply chain transparent. We use premium quality leather and raw materials for our beautifully crafted, handmade, fair trade shoes. All of our raw material is locally sourced, which helps support the local economy while providing our customers with one-of-a-kind products.
